Just to answer my own question....I had the seller measure the holes center to center and the length and width of the louver. Everything matched on my old 80, so I bought two.
Maybe the new route pinches the line.
Did you allow enough slack in your in-tank line so the filter lays on the bottom of the tank when the saw is at any position? If you are getting air bubbles in the fuel line, it's coming from somewhere.
I rebuilt the carb, then tuned it with factory line and it ran great and didn't have any problems. Then decided to replace filter and fuel line. Ran like crap and couldn't get rpms up. Replaced filter with original and rum great until it starts running out of fuel. No noticeable gas leaks.
New fuel line was a bear to get the the wholes so thats a possibility I didn't think of.
Plenty of slack.
Just test the fuel line in place and if it doesn't hold vac or pressure, it's leaking back down into the tank maybe at the case hole. Anyway, you have to rule out the line itself....especially since it was a bear to get in.
No....with the recoil removed look at the pulley and you'll see an indent about the same size as the cord in the edge. Pull the cord into that and wind the pulley against the spring...usually 3-4 turns are enough to get the cord to wind back onto the pulley when released. I usually start with 36" inches of cord and wind until the pulley will fill and still have tension and the install the handle. If when you're all done and the handle doesn't stay under tension or later won't stay in the socket just remove the recoil, pull out a bout a foot of cord and with it in the indent again wind it one more revolution or until there is always tension on the handle.
